Wisconsin Dells, WI '08

This was a trip to Wisconsin Dells like no other. Due to heavy rains, much of the area was flooded and we viewed fields that were turned into lakes on our drive to our destination. Once our group arrived, we were shocked to see what was left of Lake Delton (where the famous Tommy Bartlett show takes place) which was almost dry due to the dam breaking because of excessive water. Not all was lost though and we still had a blast. The group did some Mini-Golfing at Pirates Cove, took a tour of the area aboard the Duck Boats (which go on land and water), swam at Noah's Arc Waterpark, and visited the Wildlife Exhibit. We ate at some interesting restaurants but decided that Paul Bunyon's Cookout was the best. We even spent one day of our vacation and drove to the unique destination of the "House on a Rock". This is an incredible place that has interesting displays such as a magic chair, a room of dolls, a carousal, and even a platform that you walk out on and it overlooks an amazing cliff. Everyone enjoyed the trip despite the flooding conditions and new that it only added to our memories.
